IPMI & Hexadecimal values

[ngit]

Hello!

I have started adding IPMI monitoring of our IBM xSerise servers to Zabbix.
I acquired the list of available values with the ipmitool, and started creating items in Zabbx.

Everything works fine for the float value types, such as fan speed of ambiance temperature. However there's a problem when I try to add value which is reported by the ipmotool as 0x0.

Here's a list of items as reported by the ipmitool:

Fan 1 Tach       | na         | RPM        | na    | na        | na        | na        | na        | na        | na
Fan 2 Tach       | na         | RPM        | na    | na        | na        | na        | na        | na        | na
Fan 3 Tach       | 8625.000   | RPM        | ok    | 750.000   | 1950.000  | 1950.000  | na        | na        | na
Fan 4 Tach       | 7050.000   | RPM        | ok    | 750.000   | 1950.000  | 1950.000  | na        | na        | na
Fan 5 Tach       | 7725.000   | RPM        | ok    | 750.000   | 1950.000  | 1950.000  | na        | na        | na

etc...

Sys pwr monitor  | 0x0        | discrete   | 0x0080| na        | na        | na        | na        | na        | na

Drive 4 Status   | na         | discrete   | na    | na        | na        | na        | na        | na        | na

etc ...

Zabbix reports that sensors such as Watchdog or Drive 1 Status don't exist.

I have tried changing the item's data type from numeric to text, tried using hexadecimal and octal values, however nothing helped!

Does anybody have a clue to why this doesn't work?

they are discrete sensors - see https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-300
